A PROBABLE MURDER AND A POS
sIBLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
CHARLESTON, N. C., March S, 1885,

CHARLESTON, N. u, March D, 1885,
Messrs. Editors Our citizens were
lately startled by the news Of a murder
committed in our county. "a man by
the name of Jesse Fabor, q resident of
this county, was found near his home on
Tennessee River about fourteen miles
from this place, lying dead in the woods.
The deceased having been: subject to
heart disease, it was ct firsteupposed that
he died of that disease, but upon exam
ination by the coroner and jury it was
found that the deceased came to his
death from q gun shot wound, the ball
having penetrated the body Just below
the left shoulder blade, and coming out
near the pit of the stoE ,ach. The deceas-
ed had disappeared seven days previous
to his discovery. He was found from
the incessant barking and bowling Of his
dog, which remained with the body until
he was found. From circumstances that
attended the disappearance of the deeeas
ed and from threats that had beer, icade,
Allen DeHart and ;, P.-4sEA ~ Esnf
bOFs oI the deceased were arrested on
the 4fh inst, and are. now in Jail at this
place awaiting an Investigation of the
crime. Great excitement prevails over
the horrible crime. Will give further
information after an investigation Of the
case, as more fully developed the facts
and circumstances connected with the
offence. The investigation before the
Justices is set for the 7th inst. Rev. w.
H. Conner, of this county, was in Charles.
tona few days since with a wagon and
team, and on leaving town he asked
young man named Bryson tG assist him
in crossing Deep Creek just above the
town. On reaching the creek Mr.. Con-
ner mounted the lead horse, while Bry-
son remained in the wagon; when near
the middle of the creek, the water being
deep and swift, the horse became un-
manageable. Mr.. Conner got off the horse
and called to Bryson to carry him only
and stood tottering in the water for
moment. Bryson, seeing something un-
usual was the matter. reached him as
quick as possible, and held his head
above water until help arrived. He was
then taken out of the creek, and to a
neighbot's house in a semi-conscious
condition. in which condition he has
remained ever since. He has not spoken
since his hurried call to Bryson as he
leaped from his horse. But little hope
is entertained of his recovery. -

THE SOCIAL "KETTLE DRUM"

THE SOCIAL "KETrLE DRUM"
Apopos of 'Kettle Drums," which
are now agitating fashionable soci-
ETY. circles in our midst, we CLEAN
from a cutting handed US by a
friend, the following interesting his
torical facts.
"The name stDrum" given to an
evening rarty.. is very old. Fielding in
his Tom Jones, not our Tom Jones,
in 1749, describes Drum as an as.
semblaee of well dressed persons of
both sexes, most of whom play at
cards. and the rest do nothiug at
all; while the mistress of the hoase
performs the part of the landlady Of
an Inn; prides herself on the num-
ber of her guests, though she doth
not always, like get anything by it. !"
Francis Coventry, in his history
of "Pompey the little" published
in 1851, says that a drum is now the
highest object of female vain-glory,
the end whereof is to assemble as
large mob of quality as can be
possibly contained in one house.
He t1aces the name to the rivalry
among the different givers of enter
tainments to secure the largest lists,
for which purpose they "beat up for
volunteers" Again. he says, the
highest" call nothing but crowd a
Drum whereas the "lOUest" often
give that name to the commonest par
ties. Now fosthe derivation
Dutch "drom" is 'crowd;' drommel
verzermelin is to crowd together.
The saxon drom is the noise that
proceeds from a crowd.
The word "Kettle" mea house,
hold, a family, a little community,
who can all be fed or drink ftom the
same kettle. A Kettle Drum is
therefore a familiar crowd, a gaths
ering at house without ceremony
"a hilarious crowd OF. familiar
friends who assemble at a friends
house on short notice, as if called at
the tap of a drum. Let the drum
tap, and familiar friends gather, to
eat, drink, and be merry.

Telegrams from all points in re-
lation to the Russo-Austrian situa-
ton agree that Russian agents in
Bulgaria are instructed to foment
disturbances. In Downlns street il
is stated that dispatches from Brit.
ish representatives in the Balkan
states have been received, showing
that Russiais hampering the Re
gency at every turn, and keeping
the country in q state of chronic
disquiet. AL reports concur in de.
clarfng that the population is di
vided into factions, and ripe fol
civil war.

RALEIGH. March 5.

RALEIGH, March 5.
The Senate to-day passed the omnibus
liquor bill. The Senate went into exccu-
tive session, ion nominations by the
Governor. There was a long list of these.
All were confined, Including Wesley
Jones of Raleigh, as chief of the new
Bureau of Labor
President lSteadman announced that
the calendar of the Senate was clear of
all important bills. Resolutions OF
thanks to President Stedman were
adopted by unanimous vote: Many
speeches eulogistic of him were made
on both sides of the Senate.
In the House the Conference Commit
on the Revenue bill, after many confer.
ences with the Senate Committee on
that subject, reported it had agreed to
strike out the tax on pleasure clubs, and
to allow rebate on drummers' license
to hOme merchants to remain.
The chief work of the day was the
election Of Justices of the Peace. The
House and Senate went into joint ses-
sion on this The committee on Magis.
trates submitted a report. Mr.. Pearson
offered substitute for the list reported
from Buncombe. The COMMITTEES, through
chairman stancill, at once accepted this
and Immediately called the previous
question. This was ordered, thus shut
ting out Republicans. The report of the
committee vas adopted. The scene wal
a very wild one; never was the House
more discordant. There was regular
scramble, applause, talking and laughter
1t was almost impossible tokeep up with
the business. i-ss

Judge Merrimon is not expected
back until the middle of the month.
A Large crowd in town yesterday.
Merchants all busy, trade lively,
booming.
Most of the lawyers came up from
Madison to spend Sunday at home,
and to return on Sunday night.
There was sound of bell yes
terday afternoon, which many
thought for a moment to be a fire
alarm.

struck us yesterday-but got the
worst of the attack. It is now insEali

city yesterday, from the Henderson

spared the honors ofthe earthquake,
as well as plague pestilence and

Patton Avenue had better look
out for her laurels; South Main
street is on boom, and she is not
going to be left in the march of inn

The venerable Bishop M. iris of
far off Oregon, is in the city, the
guest Of mine tost of the Swanna-

The census report will be in early
next week, and will no doubt STAR

takers have only a few streets to list,
viz: Woodfn, North Main, Merri
mon Avenue, Cemetary. West Hay
wood, West Patton Avenue, and
River street. The work will be COM
pleted at an early day.
The Directory Company have
met with good deal Of trouble in
numbering, on account ofthe confu-
sion in the names of the streets;
some have name,. some have no
name, and some like some mems
sprees, run into each other; al this
should be corrected by a general
system ofnaming. 1t had better be
done now, than put off to the future
